PostGame Thread 2024 Postgame Thread Week 16 - Pats fall to Bills 24-21

[raduray]

A moral victory. Kept it close in a game we were slated to get blown out while maintaining, or even improving, our draft position.

 

[Fubby]

Think my biggest concern coming out of this game was that Maye’s body language is starting to show he’s about fed up with this **** show now too. The OL was a ****ing sieve.

You have to hand it to the Pats, they played hard, held the Bills offense to 17 points. Maye giveth and then taketh away with 2 bonehead plays, which seems like a bad habit of his. AVP may have lost his job with that play call of the lateral.

The Pats definitely aren’t tanking, Buffalo is a great team, and they played them tough. Definitely expected them to score 60 today at home.

What stupid thing will Mayo say tonight that he has to walk back tomorrow. Bets are open

 

[Steve102]

He needs to win out to fulfill his promise of having a better record than last year. Or can he just walk it back.

Gonna spend like drunken sailors

Or whatever TF he said. He's quite adept and walking it back.

NBC SB - Curran et al - are going the moral victory route. I may not watch another game this year. Maybe I'll listen in the radio while I muck out the chicken coop - **** for **** - or just read the box score. It'll be another year of Mayo leading a bunch of zeroes handpicked by Nepo Boy, another year of pointless football.

That series of gaffs, one after another, first with the rough defense at the start of the 2nd half, followed by offensive foibles left and right, was so frustrating to watch, but a firm reminder of what this season has really been hallmarked by.

You know, this team could've just caved in, become what everyone expects them to be, but they marched out to that second half saying "Wait. This isn't us. We've lost sight of who we are. Let's take back our identity!"

 

[TomPatriot]

3 TOs were huge. Bills only played well enough to win, no more.

 

[ZoisKing]

Really like our draft positioning after today. We can do a whole lot from the 2nd spot.

 

[raduray]

Disappointing, considering they went up 14-0 and could do nothing for 2 quarters. Too many mistakes, turnovers killed them and unable to stop the run is why they lost . I always want to see them win, this game was so frustration, saw a glimmer of hope. Maye tries to hard and every game he throws a WTF pick !!!!
The season can't end fast enough !!!

That wasn't a WTF throw on the interception. The receiver fell down.

 

[PWRxWLF]

Raise your hand if you’d believed me if I told you Maye would outperform the assumptive MVP Josh Allen and we’d still lose the game. Had ‘em where we wanted them but the same ****ing mistakes and knucklehead plays did us in. So close.

 

[vicspats]

I’m for one glad they put up a fight. Turnovers suck. Maye has to get a handle on that. Bottom line is we are a 3-14 team. A great draft this offseason we will be a .500 team. Gotta start somewhere

 

[Ring 6]

It's a moral victory. I'll take it. Maye had his ups and downs. Great first half. Poor second half capped by the bad INT.

However he redeemed himself in the closing minutes of the 4th quarter with a really nice TD drive.

Growing moments for Maye.

And the great news is we move into the #2 overall draft spot thanks to Mac Jones losing to the Raiders.

For his next trick, Mac only needs to win one of the next two games to take the Jaguars completely out of the running for our #2 draft pick.

We won’t lose the tie breaker to them. It’s virtually impossible

 

[lancerman]

This is a frustrating game. They did better than we all expected and then they **** themselves in the crucial endgame moments.

 

[vicspats]

That wasn't a WTF throw on the interception. The receiver fell down.

Or ran the wrong route ?

 

[sb1]

I’m hating that Rhamfumble Stevenson extension more and more. Wonder what the dead cap hit would be of letting him go…

 

[GaryfromTO]

bad teams always **** the bed. The pats **** the bed again today

 

[Vindicate]

Another example of a bad team finding new ways to lose every week.

It's called research and development. Mayo is clearly borrowing from the corporate world. Get with the program.

 

[PatriotSpy]

Mayo saved his job today. He looked like he was actually coaching today, no deer in the headlights. I would have rather they got their asses kicked TBH.

He has no stones. Punted on 4th and 6 with 6 minutes to go down 10. Were 3-11 playing one of the best offenses in the nfl, he’s a strong guy but a weak coach.

Oh Stevenson is dogshit. I never wanted to keep him. Gibson is more efficient but for some reason Stevenson has over 100 more carries
